Where I'm From
I’m from starting over.
New towns, new friends, new surroundingsー
making the best out of difficult situations.
I’m from the West side of Aurora, Illinois.
Middle class, diverse, Home of the Blackhawksー
receiving what is needed, splurging for a want.
I’m NOT from small town Hartland, Wisconsin.
Privileged, uniform, Home of the Warhawksー
complaining for what is wanted, not needed.
I’m from elongated nights in rehearsal.
Singing, dancing, actingー
pretending to be someone else on stage.
I WAS from stagefright and nerves.
Panic, anxiety, judgementー
fearing rejection from society.
I’m from the food industry.
Responsibility, fast pace, demandingー
barking orders from managers and impatient customers.
I WANT to be from music education.
Passion, timbre voices, inclinationー
sculpting the minds of children to appreciate the arts.
I’m from starting over.
New towns, new friends, new surroundingsー
making the best out of difficult situations.
